THE New South Wales Parole Authority did not consider community safety when it allowed the early release of a transsexual killer who had been jailed for life, a court has been told.
[...]
But the prisoner, who after undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2003 changed her name to Maddison Hall, later had the sentence redetermined to 22 years.
Hall served out her minimum 16-and-a-half years behind bars early this year.
